Features & Capabilities

CORE Discovery empowers researchers with one-click access to free copies of research papers whenever they encounter paywalls. Backed by CORE's extensive dataset of millions of full-text open access papers and additional external services, it ensures users find the highest coverage of freely available academic content globally.

This free Chrome extension is uniquely developed by researchers, prioritizing privacy and providing unmatched integration with open repositories. Unlike other tools relying mainly on commercial databases, CORE Discovery excels in uncovering content even without DOIs and offers seamless repository integration, making it an indispensable tool for academic research and open knowledge discovery.

Is CORE Discovery Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

CORE Discovery requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

CORE Discovery is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
